Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths: Including Actinides, Volume 67 highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters written by an international board of authors. Updates in this new release include Emerging trends in the design and potential applications of luminescent lanthanide coordination complexes for photodynamic therapy, Deciphering crystal field splitting of lanthanide ions using magnetism, luminescence and ab initio calculations: a friendly discussion between van Vleck and Boltzmann, The Heavy Rare Earths' Supply Chain, and more.
1. 1 Introduction - p. 39 2. 2 Historical landmarks of the two giants: Boltzmann and van Vleck - p. 41 3. 3 Electronic states in lanthanide complexes down to crystal field splitting - p. 43 4. 4 Detailed description of Boltzmann thermalization in the population of different CF-states and its consequences on absorption/excitation and emission spectra - p. 53 5. 5 When van Vleck comes into play - p. 61 6. 6 Ab-initio calculations as unification and rationalization of magnetic and luminescence data - p. 68 7. 7 Selected benchmark examples of magneto-optical correlation coupled with theoretical approaches - p. 70 8. 8 Selected unusual cases where the first order analysis of the coordination sphere is not sufficient: Influence of weak interactions in the crystal packing, role of the crystalline quality of the sample - p. 82 9. 9 Future of the field - p. 87 10. 10 Conclusion - p. 96 11. References - p. 97
